No admission charge, though parking a bit expensive. Lovely grounds.

A nice place to visit if you like culture and history. Long paths to walk under the trees, a large building for the sacred being. There is also a gift shop that sells some talismans. The entrance fee was free when I made a visit there.

Beautiful and peaceful. Just visiting on my way to Nara (exhange train in this station) and was surprised bow peaceful and solemn this shrine is. Get my first goshuin here! When I came here it they also have ShichiGoSan so there’s tiny ladies wearing beautiful kimono all around. Sooo adorable!

Lovely and peaceful shrine. It was raining, but still worth the visit.

This is a representative shrine in Nara. It is close to Kashihara Jingu Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line and within walking distance. Surrounded by a park, it is rich in nature and ideal for strolling and jogging. Temples and shrines in Kyoto are nice, but shrines in Nara are also very good for sightseeing.

Absolutely beautiful. So peaceful today as well. No tourist buses when we went. Everything is so tranquil here. Worth the drive out. Of course you could get a bus as well. Don't miss this one if you are near.

The two grand torii in front of Kashiharajan Shrine are grand, and the wood is preserved in its primary color, which is more interesting than if it were painted with vermilion! Founded in the year of Meiji 23 (1890), Kashiharajan Shrine has been enlarged several times and currently covers an area of 500,000 square meters. Located east of Mount Kashiharaju city, Nara Kashiharaju City, this site is believed to be the location of Mashiki Kashiharu Palace, the palace of Japan's first Emperor Hirohito (on throne: 660-585 BC). After walking through the way, I saw the bride and bridegroom who came to the shrine to do the wedding ceremony. Japanese dress, really have a different flavor. One of the main temples of Kashiharaju Kashiharaju, is a shift from The Suhasu (Suharu Uchiji) in Kyoto. Both sides of the long column corridor and row of lanterns had a very serious imposing manner. The cutting hand of Japan's 2,600th anniversary stamps is the inaki Kaharu Shrine Kashiharajan Shrine is a wide area, with a wide forest beyond the back door. In the outer court, the remains of pillars of yayoi period have been excavated, and the measurement results of C-14 have an error of 2600 years plus or minus 200 years, which is exactly consistent with the era of Emperor Jimwu.

It seems to have a castle-like structure, so I wanted to take a tour inside. Advance reservations are required to tour the interior. A short distance from the side of the Imanishi house, the ring moat has been restored and you can feel the atmosphere of that time.

(Translated by Google) I contacted them in advance. I was moved by the love of Imaicho from the preservation society, who gave a thorough explanation for just one person.

(Translated by Google) The Imanishi family is a symbol of an advanced town that was recognized for its unique autonomy during the feudal era. The nine gates and surrounding moat that remained until the Meiji era were symbols of the autonomous city, and these gates were open and closed from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. At night, only four gates were designated and people could enter and exit after careful consideration. In particular, the west gate of Honmachisuji Street is said to have been guarded by building a banya and guarding the gate, allowing merchants to trade freely with peace of mind.

(Translated by Google) I watched a program on NHK's ``Hot Kansai Saturday'' and learned that the Imanishi family was built at Toraguchi, and that Oda Nobunaga was given a sword, a symbol of martial arts, instead of a tea ceremony utensil during peace making, and that the feeling of entrusting the autonomy of Imai Town to the Imanishi family as ``just like Osaka'' was well expressed in the program using animation.

(Translated by Google) thank you! I saw prana for the first time in a while at Jinmu Mausoleum. That's how it started, and the movement was completed automatically and autonomously, and I did an e-motion like I scooped up some prana and drank it in a half-stunned stage emotion. Sometimes I get into a state where I can see a swarm of horseshoe crab larvae glowing in cloudy white moving in Brownian motion.It feels like I get into such a mode at the right location and timing, and I forget about it until then. I don't think it's a technique, but a pure mode.Heteronomic situations are dominant.I've walked by many times and got caught in the rain. I think the nature and functionality of heteronomous situational control differs from person to person. For example, Yusa-san is currently dealing with the accident by himself. I'm heading to Shimogamo by train by myself as originally planned. Mr. Kusakabe is complaining about my tardiness. They are relieved and expanding according to the regulations. At a completely invisible level, each of them is generating a completely heteronomous situation in their own seisansei. In order to create a future-oriented butterfly effect while realizing the last minute and continuing to breathe consciously as an acrobatic, it actually takes sacrifice, solid technical experience, and repeated efforts. For the time being, I rode the Kintetsu train in order to destroy and ruin the dominant heteronomous situation of B that A had deepened. I think it would be good if everyone, including the immature hen who raised her voice just at noon, should learn about the state of things called Jokyo and how they work, and the possibilities and practicalities of countering and manipulating them. Completely replace it!

A museum introducing wide Japanese archeological research to the public. The entrance fee is cheap, and you'll even be able to get a discount if you can verify you're a student (e.g., International Student Card). For non-Japanese speakers, the museum also has fairly well-prepared English subtitles and descriptions on their exhibited artifacts. And, of course, since this museum is an annex of a special research center, the selection is also well arranged. If you visit Kashihara Jingu early, then I'd also recommend you visit this place too.

Great place. Free entry for foriegners with a show of passport and you get a free booklet with english explanations and four pull out postcards. The exhibits are amazingly interesting and I was absolutely enthralled. I highly reccomend!

Great collection

Best oversight over Nara history.

The museum has a wonderful collection of artifacts, and the staff were very kind. I appreciated the English exhibit guide.

Amazing museum. Highly recommended if you're into history and archeology. Close to Kashihara Jingu and the Kofun of Emperor Jimmu. The museum covers the history of the area from the Paleolithic to the late Nara periods, and has a lot of amazing artifacts, dioramas and displays. Most displays are in Japanese but there is an English guidebook available. Admission is 800 yen but if you're a foreigner you can get in for free if you show your passport.

Really nice museum describing a period of Japanese history that is often less discussed. I learned a lot about early Japanese history and culture. Highly recommend for those interested in history and archeology.

Better to get there by car. There are parking lots at different locations. Early Oct is not the best blooming period but should be less crowded. Good to have a relaxing walk with family or pet.

Interesting palace ruins ! Worth a quick visit ;-)

Its ok, I knew it was a complete ruins and there is nothing left except for a vast field and became a play ground of sorts for the locals to relax. But the field is massive, one can imagine how big the palace was for the fujiwara back in ancient days... If u like a place to have a picnic then its nice. Otherwise there is nothing to see even old ruins rocks...

Well, there's no ruins actually, just some marks indicating the place, but they have a really beautiful cosmos flower garden there right now, so I really recommend people to visit it, plus it's free and there's lot of parking area available

Beautiful scene.

Roads were very busy but there's lots of things to see and do!

(Translated by Google) This is the remains of the palace that preceded the Heijo Palace, a World Heritage Site. Parts of it are currently under excavation, and they are aiming to register it as a World Heritage Site. There is a parking lot on the north side, and a temporary parking lot on the south side. There is also a museum on the west side. Many people come to see the rape blossoms, cosmos, and other flowers.

Very very wide mall with anything you need I went there for the beauty clinic or 3coins. It opens at 10am so you can't enter the mall before 10:00

Aeon Mall Kashihara provides an extensive selection of shopping opportunities, encompassing a variety of stores specifically catering to footwear and clothing enthusiasts. As visitors explore the mall, they can discover diverse options for acquiring stylish apparel and trendy footwear. Moreover, the mall boasts several food courts situated on different floors, enhancing the overall shopping experience. However, it's crucial to highlight a notable aspect concerning dining preferences. Despite the numerous culinary choices available, including various cuisines and flavors within the food courts, it is regrettable that Aeon Mall Kashihara currently lacks halal food options. This absence might be a consideration for individuals adhering to halal dietary restrictions, prompting them to explore alternative dining venues within the mall premises.

It is a great shopping mall. It has a convenient food court and is quiet and comfortable!

Clean with lots of stores catering to different foods, styles, price points, etc. 2 good food courts too.

I just buy sushi there and rent a bike and drive to nara

There are quite a lot of stores here, so naturally, a lot of people visit. If you are looking at buying just the food, go before 10 o'clock, when the other stores haven't opened yet.

I like how the parking lot and the stores are close to each other! Fun fact : Locals call it “Aruru” (Ah-roo-roo) because of its previous name.

Rather small and you can't really go the mausoleum but the sight and nature is beautiful there!

MESSIAH IS COMING

Large and tranquil mausoleum of a ancient emperor. The space open to public is limited with little stuff to see. Tourists are not allowed to enter the area of the mausoleum itself.

(Translated by Google) August 16, 2025 This is the tomb of Emperor Jimmu, the nation's founder and first emperor. It is located north of Kashihara Shrine, where he is said to have ascended to the throne, across the forest east of Mount Unebi. Proceeding from the entrance facing the national highway, the approach makes a gentle right curve before straightening out to the worship site. Surrounded by tall trees on both sides, it's reminiscent of Ise Grand Shrine. Once you cross the moat, the view opens up and continues to the worship site. A building can be seen in the distance on the right, and upon approaching, it appears to be the shrine office (I'm not sure what it's called). It seemed to have some handouts, but it was closed and I couldn't enter. To return to the national highway, it's quicker to take the road leading from the shrine office. (Original) 2025.08.16 国の創始者で初代天皇である神武天皇の御陵。即位したとされる橿原神宮とは畝傍山の東側の森を挟んで北側に位置する。 国道に面した参詣口から進むと、参道は緩やかに右カーブをしてから拝所まで直線になっている。両側は高い木立に囲まれていて、伊勢神宮を彷彿とさせる。濠を越えると視界が広がり拝所へと続く。 右手奥には建物が見えていて近寄ると社務所（呼び方がわからん）のようだ。ちょっとした資料も置かれてる感じだったが、休館日で入れなかった。国道へ戻るには、社務所から続く車道を通ると早い。

(Translated by Google) Emperor Jimmu is, of course, the first emperor, known for the myth of his eastern expedition. The tumulus designated as his mausoleum is located north of Mt. Unebi. As befits an imperial tomb managed by the Imperial Household Agency, there is a well-maintained approach leading up to the tomb. Worship takes place at the worship hall just before the tomb. Archaeologically speaking, this tomb is called the Misanzai Tomb, and appears to belong to the Shijo Tomb Group, but because academic surveys are not possible, it is not even certain whether it is a tumulus in the first place (it may just be a hill). (Original) 神武天皇は言うまでもなく、東征神話で知られた初代の天皇。その陵墓に治定される古墳が、畝傍山の北にあります。 宮内庁管理の天皇陵らしく、立派な参道が陵まで続いています。 参拝は、天皇陵手前の拝所で行うようになっています。 考古学的に言うと、こちらの陵はミサンザイ古墳と呼ばれ、四条古墳群に属するようですが、学術的調査ができないため、そもそも古墳であるかどうかも確証がない（ただの丘陵かもしれない）とのことです。

(Translated by Google) I was finally able to pay my respects at the tomb of Emperor Jimmu. As I walked along the path surrounded by trees from the approach to the shrine, I found myself in a tranquil atmosphere within the spacious grounds. There were no other worshippers there, so standing in front of the torii gate I felt like I'd been left behind in another world. Although there are legends and many mysteries surrounding the tomb, it remains true that it is the founding father of Japan. I was grateful to have been able to visit this imperial tomb. (Original) ついに参拝することが出来た神武天皇御陵。 参道から木々に囲まれた参道を進むと広い境内に静謐な空気。他に参拝者がいなかったので鳥居の前に立っていると何か異世界に取り残されたみたいになってしまいました。 伝説だったり多くの謎はあるものの、日本建国の祖であることに変わらない天皇陵に伺えたことに感謝。

(Translated by Google) Unebiyama no Ushitora no Sumi no Misasagi Tomb of the first Emperor Jinmu Also known as Shijo Misanzai Kofun Formed as a circular mound On the day I visited, it was raining on and off, but the weather was such that it barely bothered me. It was early in the morning, so there were no people walking along the approach to the tomb, and I stood alone at the tomb, enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. Emperor Jinmu is considered a mythical figure, but there is a record (Nihon Shoki, Volume 28) that during the Jinshin War, Otomo no Muraji Fuke, who accompanied Prince Oama (later Emperor Tenmu), sent Takechi no Agata Nushi Kome to Emperor Jinmu's mountain tomb to present horses and various weapons, and in the Heian period, the location and size of the tomb were recorded in the Shoryo Shiki in Volume 20 of the Engishiki, and it is known that it was under the management of the Shoryo Ryo. In other words, regardless of whether Emperor Jimmu was a mythical figure or not, it is clear that rituals were performed at the tomb of Emperor Jimmu before the Middle Ages. However, as time went on, the tomb fell into disrepair and its location became unknown. In the Edo period, when the tomb was being restored in 1697, the village headman of Shijo village replied that Tsukayama was the tomb of Emperor Jimmu, so the Edo shogunate designated Tsukayama (the tomb of Emperor Suizei today) as the tomb of Emperor Jimmu. However, this was disagreed with by the Japanese classicist Motoori Norinaga and the Confucian scholar Gamo Kimippei, who wrote the "Yamaryōshi," and they argued that Maruyama, located on the ridge of Mount Unebi, was the tomb of Emperor Jimmu. In the Bunkyu era, opinions were divided between the strongly supported Maruyama theory and a small mound in Jinmu-da, strongly promoted by Tanimori Yoshiomi, and finally Jinmu-da was selected by Emperor Komei. However, Emperor Komei also ordered that Maruyama not be neglected. The background to this was Emperor Komei's plan to visit Yamato, and Emperor Komei himself had a strong desire to visit the tomb of Emperor Jinmu, but the location of the mountain ridge had not been determined for the tomb to be restored. The reason for selecting the mound in Jinmu-da was probably because the most likely candidate, Maruyama, located on the ridge of the Unebi mountains, would not be able to be restored in time. Unfortunately, Emperor Komei's visit to Yamato was canceled due to the outbreak of the coup d'état on August 18th. Emperor Jimmu may be a mythical figure, but considering that rituals have been held here since ancient times, and that even though the location became lost in the Middle Ages, controversy has arisen over the site since the early modern period, and that it is still a place of veneration today, there is no doubt that there was a real model for him. There is also a theory that Jimmuda no Tsuka is the remains of the foundations of the hall and tower of Okuboji Temple, which existed here until the Middle Ages, but this cannot be verified at this time. However, even if Emperor Jimmu's mountain tomb was not located here, it seemed significant that this place has some connection to and is a place where people revere and worship Emperor Jimmu. (Original) 畝傍山東北陵（うねびのやまのうしとらのすみのみささぎ） 初代 神武天皇陵 別名 四条ミサンザイ古墳 形式は円丘 参拝をしたこの日は小雨が降ったり止んだりだがほとんど気にならないような空模様。 朝早い時間とあって参道を歩く人もなく、荘厳な雰囲気に包まれた陵でひとり佇んだ。 神武天皇は神話上の人物とされているが、壬申の乱のとき、大海人皇子（のちの天武天皇）についた大伴連吹負（おおとものむらじふけ）が高市県主許梅（たけちのあがたぬしこめ）を神武天皇の山陵に遣わして馬や種々の武器を奉ったという記載（日本書紀巻二十八）や、平安時代には延喜式巻第二十巻の諸陵式にはその所在と広さが記録され諸陵寮の管理下にあったことがわかっている。 つまり、神武天皇が神話上の人物かどうかは別として、中世以前は神武天皇陵において祭祀が行われていたことがわかる。 しかし、時代が下るにつれ、陵墓が荒廃したためかその所在が不明となる。 江戸時代に入ると元禄10年（1697年）の修陵時に四条村の庄屋らが塚山を神武天皇御廟だと答えたことから、江戸幕府は塚山（現在の綏靖天皇陵）を神武天皇陵に治定した。 ところが、これに異を唱えたのが国学者の本居宣長や「山陵志」を著した儒学者の蒲生君平らで、彼らは畝傍山の尾根の上にある丸山こそが神武天皇陵だと唱えた。 そして文久の修陵においては、根強く支持された丸山説の他に谷森善臣が強く推した神武田（じぶでん）にある小さな塚とに意見が割れ、最終的には孝明天皇の御沙汰により神武田に治定された。 ただし、孝明天皇からは丸山についても粗末にしないようにという御沙汰があった。 この背景には孝明天皇の大和行幸の計画があり、孝明天皇自身、神武天皇陵への参詣を強く望んでいたが、修陵するにもその山稜の所在が未確定であった。 神武田の塚に治定した背景には、畝傍山中の尾根にある最有力候補の丸山ではとうてい修陵が間に合わないという事情を汲み取ってのものではなかろうか。 しかし、残念なことに孝明天皇の大和行幸は八月十八日の政変の勃発で取り止めとなってしまっている。 神武天皇は神話上の人物かもしれないが、古代より祭祀が行われたことや中世に場所がわからなくなったとはいえ、近世からその場所を巡っては論争が起き、そして今も崇敬を集める場所であることを考えると、間違いなくモデルとなる人物がいたのではないか。 なお、神武田の塚は中世までこの地に存在した大窪寺のお堂や塔の基壇の跡ではないかという説もあるが、いまとなっては検証することもできない。 ただ、神武天皇の山陵が仮にこの地でなかったとしても、この場所が何かしらの縁があって神武天皇を崇敬し拝むこと自体に意味があるように思えた。

Cherry Blossom season is quiet compared to other super crowded sites. It’s a must visit if you love ancient architectures & history. It felt like travel back in time of 1000 years while standing there in the rain & enjoy the sight of the pagodas. Very zen & relaxing when there are less people around!

Yakushiji Temple (薬師寺), located in Nara, Japan, is one of the most significant and ancient Buddhist temples in the country. Originally constructed in 680 CE during the Asuka period by Emperor Tenmu, the temple was built to pray for the recovery of his wife, Empress Jitō. Dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of Medicine and Healing, the temple symbolizes hope and spiritual healing. Yakushiji is renowned for its symmetrical layout and stunning architecture, epitomizing the classical style of early Japanese Buddhism. The temple complex includes several iconic structures, most notably the East Pagoda (東塔, Tōtō), a three-story pagoda dating back to the 8th century. This is the only original structure that survived multiple fires and is celebrated for its elegant design and intricate details. The West Pagoda (西塔, Saitō) and the Kondō (金堂, Main Hall) have been meticulously reconstructed to preserve their historical and spiritual significance. Inside the Kondō, visitors can find an extraordinary bronze triad statue of Yakushi Nyorai flanked by two Bodhisattvas, exemplifying artistic mastery from the Hakuho period. These statues are considered national treasures and reflect the deep devotion to Buddhist teachings. In addition to its architectural and artistic treasures, Yakushiji Temple serves as an active center for Buddhist worship and meditation. The temple’s tranquil atmosphere and rich history make it a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit destination for those seeking to explore Japan’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

This is a peaceful temple belonging to the Yogācāra school of Buddhism. It features a beautiful pagoda and murals depicting scenes from the Great Tang Dynasty’s journeys to the Western Regions. It’s a great place for those interested in Buddhist teachings and history. Legend has it that relics of Xuanzang are enshrined here.

Marvelous, an over 13-hundred years old stupa and other rebuilt buildings show us ancient views.

July 5th 2025 I attended a group tour organised by Nara International Citizen centre, along with students from NAIST and Nara University. We went to three places, Yakushi-Ji is our first stop. We were just in time to see the buddhist monks performing their prayers (as you can see from the video). This place temple specifically feels oddly calming, reminding me of Todai-ji. As you walk around, enjoying the lotus flowers and ancient architectures. Hopefully, you'll feel as peaceful and relaxed as I did!

Great ancient Buddhist temple in Japan. Two Three-storied pagodas are beautiful!! Gilt bronze Buddhist statue of "Bhaisajyaguru Triad" is very impressive.

Seem most temple in Japan is nice ..This temple is too... The left side pagoda has these bronze relief scenes inside of Buddha that are incredible (no photos allowed). It’s a rather large complex with much to view, but seems like U could cover it in 1/2hours...

One of the temple related to seven fortune gods in Nara. This place is famous for health. The gate has two statues show A-UN. Also they have golden statue which was pretty.

Great place to go during spring

Great historical Buddhist temple in Japan. Many-Jeweled Pagoda "Tahoto" and many big foundation stones of other old Pagoda are very impressive!

(Translated by Google) It is located just south of Kashihara Shrine. It is said to have been founded by Prince Kome, the younger brother of Prince Shotoku. There is also a hydrangea garden on the grounds. (Original) 橿原神宮から直ぐ南にある。聖徳太子の弟君、来目皇子開祖と言われている。境内には紫陽花園もある。

(Translated by Google) It's about a 5-minute walk from Kashiharajingu-mae Station, but I took the wrong exit and ended up taking a longer detour. It's a 5-minute walk from the west ticket gate. The principal image is a seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai. It's inside a small shrine, but I can't see it very well. I can just barely make out the chin and chest. It's probably a large Buddha, about 2 meters tall, but I can't see the whole thing so I'm not sure. On either side of the principal image are standing statues of what appear to be Nikko and Gakko Bosatsu, and beyond them are two deities (it doesn't say how many there are, so I don't know). Further beyond that are seated statues of Amida Nyorai and Seishi Bosatsu (I was told this by the temple staff), as well as Aizen Myo-o and Fudo Myo-o. Near the temple grounds (back gate?), there are also gilded stone statues of Dainichi Nyorai, Yakushi Nyorai, and Kannon Bodhisattva. This temple is home to the legend of Kume Sennin. The story goes that Kume Sennin, who had the supernatural power to fly, was dazzled by the thighs of a girl doing laundry and lost his supernatural powers. Well, it's the kind of story you'd see in a Manga Nihon folktale, so whether it's true or not is not important. I visited on a Sunday and was able to take my time looking around. (Original) 橿原神宮前駅から徒歩5分ぐらいですが、出口を間違えて遠回りになりました。西改札から5分です。 ご本尊は薬師如来坐像です。お厨子の中におられましたが、あまりよくみえません。あごと胸の辺りがかろうじて見えます。おそらく2mぐらいある大きな仏様と思われますが、全体像が見えないのでよくわかりません。ご本尊の両側には日光、月光菩薩とおぼしき立像があり、さらにその外に二天(何天かは書いてないのでわかりません)。 その更に外に阿弥陀如来坐像と勢至菩薩坐像(これはお寺の方に教えてもらいました)や愛染明王、不動明王がいらっしゃいました。 境内(裏門？)付近には金ピカの大日如来坐像や薬師如来、観音菩薩の石像もありました。 こちらのお寺には久米仙人の言い伝えがあります。神通力で空を飛べる久米仙人が洗濯する娘の太ももに目が眩み神通力がなくなったというものです。 まあ、まんがにほん昔話みたいなお話なので、本当かどうかは重要ではありません。 日曜日に訪問しましたが、ゆっくり拝観できました。

(Translated by Google) Famous for its hydrangeas. There is a fee to enter the hydrangea garden. I came across some kindergarten children on an excursion. Parking is available. (Original) あじさいで有名。 あじさい園は有料。 遠足で来ていた保育園児と遭遇しました。 駐車場有り。

One of my favorite temples ever! It was the special 風鈴 event and it felt magical. There wasn't many people which was nice because you could hear all 3000 windchimes clearly. If you can go to the cafe and try their delicious kakigori with a beautiful view

This is one of the temple of 八福神( seven fortune gods) in Nara. This is famous for rose garden and Japanese garden begins the temple. Pretty and calm place.

It’s actually free and it’s really pretty. Not much people when I visited

I love this temple this season.🙏🙏🙏

very beautiful temple, has many festivals throughout the year and a rose garden.

(Translated by Google) Visit around 3 PM on weekdays. You can hear the sound of wind chimes as you get closer! The Wind Chime Festival is held around this time of year. ✨ As soon as you enter the main gate, you'll see countless wind chimes hanging throughout the temple grounds! The sight of approximately 3,000 wind chimes playing their refreshing sounds is truly breathtaking! ️ The wind chime curtain is amazing! ️ You can also take a leisurely stroll around the medaka school, teahouse, and garden. ✨ A unique summer sight, perfect for this time of year. 😁 Everyone was taking lots of photos. Admission is free, but the main hall is 500 yen. Parking is available on the west, south, and second parking lots. (See website) Visiting Hours: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM (Original) 平日15時頃拝観。 近くになると風鈴の音が聞こえてきます‼️ この時期なると風鈴祭りが開催されています✨ 正門入ってすぐに、沢山の風鈴が境内いっぱいに吊るされています‼️ 約3000個の風鈴が、涼やかな音色を奏でる様子は圧巻です‼️ 風鈴カーテンが凄い‼️ 他にも、めだかの学校、茶屋、庭園などゆっくりと散策が出来きます✨ この時期ならではの夏の風物詩です😁 皆さん、沢山写真を撮っていました。 拝観料は無料ですが、本堂内は拝観料500円です。 駐車場は、西側、南側、第2があります。 (ホームページ参照) 拝観時間 8時30分～16時30分

(Translated by Google) The parking lot is small and apparently costs 500 yen on weekends. Today was a weekday, so it was free. There were just the right amount of tourists, the tasteful sound of the wind chimes was soothing, and the chilled shaved ice with a view of the Japanese garden in the back was amazing. I was able to observe a school of unusual types of medaka, some blue, some red, and some gold with dots! (Original) 駐車場は狭くて週末は¥500らしいです。今日は平日だったので無料でした。観光客も程よく良い感じで、風情のある風鈴の音色が心地良く、奥の日本庭園を眺めながらの冷やしあめのかき氷が最高でした。メダカさんも青や赤、点々で金色？変わった種類のメダカさんの学校を観察出来ましたよー！

What a cool place to visit. There is limited English so be prepared to Google Lens Translate a lot of stuff. That does not really matter though as the exhibits are cool and the movable cameras allow you to get up close with wasps and other insects. Arrived 45 minutes before closing and rushed through and into the main thing I wanted to see which was the butterfly enclosure. Very humid and hot but worth every drop of sweat being surrounded by so many butterflies.

Worth visiting especially with kids. Parking in front available for free.

Amazing Experience, Very Cheap Ticked fee, Lots of cool insects and a very beautiful butterfly greenhouse

Run-down-looking building.

Excellent, lots ofcgreat things to see.

(Translated by Google) 🦋 We went to Kashihara Insectarium! A safe insect spot for parents and children, as well as pregnant families🌿 The Kashihara Insectarium in Kashihara City, Nara, is a place where the whole family can enjoy interacting with nature! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Great points for parents and children Free parking available (if the first parking lot is full, there is a second parking lot just a 3-minute walk away) Public transportation is also available (buses also run there) Affordable admission fees♪ Adults: 540 yen Children: 100 yen (wallet-friendly pricing) 🦗 Highlights in the museum Lots of insect specimens! Kids who love insects can look at them forever! There are many butterflies fluttering about in the greenhouse, and you can see them landing on the flowers up close🌸 　→Some small children were a little scared of the butterflies flying nearby (it's reassuring if you let them know beforehand) 💺 Pregnant women and small children can feel safe! My wife was pregnant, and it was helpful that there were many benches and places to sit down during the exhibits. The exhibits are designed so that you can take your time and rest while you're exploring, so you can enjoy them without any stress. 🏞️ For kids who want to get active... There is a spacious park square right next to the insectarium, so it's OK even if siblings have different preferences! 　→It's also great for parents to be able to play outside to their heart's content! 📌 A little advice The greenhouse is a little muggy in the summer, so it's reassuring to have drinks and towels at the rest points. For kids who love insects, this might be a real "one-day course" (lol) 🌟 It was a great place to interact with nature and insects, and spend some relaxing time with the family. I recommend it as a spot where pregnant women can feel safe and comfortable! (Original) 🦋 橿原昆虫館に行ってきました！親子でも、マタニティ家族でも安心の昆虫スポット🌿 奈良・橿原市にある「橿原昆虫館」は、家族みんなで楽しめる、自然とふれあえる場所でした！ 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 親子連れにうれしいポイント 無料駐車場完備（第一駐車場が満車でも、徒歩3分の第二駐車場あり） 公共交通も利用可能（バスも通ってます） 入館料がお手ごろ♪ 大人：540円 子ども：100円（お財布にやさしい価格設定） 🦗 館内の見どころ 昆虫標本がたくさん！虫好きの子はずーっと見ていられる！ 温室にはたくさんの蝶が舞っていて、花にとまる様子を間近で見られます🌸 　→蝶が近くを飛ぶので、小さな子の中にはちょっと怖がる子もいました（事前に声かけがあると安心） 💺 妊婦さんや小さなお子さん連れでも安心！ 妻が妊娠中だったのですが、展示の途中に腰を下ろせるベンチや腰掛けポイントが多くて助かりました。 ゆっくり休みながら回れる設計になっているので、無理なく楽しめます。 🏞️ 体を動かしたい子は… 昆虫館のすぐ隣に広々とした公園広場があるので、きょうだいで好みが分かれてもOK！ 　→外で思いっきり遊べるのも、親としてはありがたい！ 📌 ちょっとしたアドバイス 夏の温室は少し蒸し暑いので、休憩ポイントでは飲み物やタオルがあると安心。 昆虫好きの子は、ほんとうに「1日コース」になるかも（笑） 🌟自然や虫とのふれあい、そして家族でのんびり過ごす時間が心地よい場所でした。マタニティの方も安心して訪れられるスポットとしておすすめです！

(Translated by Google) Visited on Monday, October 13th (National Holiday), 2025. Around 1 PM, Parking Lot 1 was full, so we parked in Parking Lot 2. Parking is free. Parking Lot 1 is in front of the entrance, while Parking Lots 2 and 3 are behind the building. There are insect specimens, but not many. While it's difficult to display live insects with such short lifespans, they've made creative efforts to display them. Children will enjoy the interactive activities. The Butterfly Conservatory offers a rare opportunity to see so many flying butterflies, something you'd never experience in nature. In the special ecological exhibit...a giant yellowtail! It seems to be a pet overseas, and the attendant held it in his hand and said, "It's okay to touch it." The clear and thorough explanation told us that it's popular as a pet overseas...and the kids, upon hearing that, seemed surprisingly comfortable touching it...although they did wash and sanitize their hands afterward. Eating and drinking are prohibited inside the museum. Even if you take your time, it will take about an hour to look around. It can't be helped if you have small children, but it's a good idea to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. (Original) 来訪日2025年😃10月13日（月）祝日 13時頃、第一駐車場は満車でしたので第二駐車場へ停めました。 駐車場は無料です。 第一駐車場は入口前、第二・第三駐車場は建物裏。 昆虫の標本がありますが、それほど多くはありません。 寿命が短い昆虫を生きたまま展示は難しいと思いますが、工夫して生体をおいています。 ちょっとした体験も出来ますので子供は喜ぶと思います。 放蝶温室は飛んでいる蝶をこれだけ見れることは自然の中でも体験することが難しいと思います。 特別生態展示コーナーでは…Gブリ！ 海外のペット用らしく係の方が手に乗せて「触っても大丈夫だよ。」と声を掛けてくれました。 解りやすく丁寧な説明でペットとして海外では人気があると…それを聞いた子供達は意外と触れることに抵抗がないようで…後で手洗い消毒をしましたが。 館内で飲食は禁止です。ゆっくり見ても1時間程で周れます。 小さな子供は仕方ないですが水分補給に水筒持参が良いかと思います。

(Translated by Google) Antique house. It is the only well-preserved priest's residence in Nara Prefecture. There is a century-old tree in the front yard. Under the tree is a statue of the incarnation of the god Inori (a fox): it is said to be able to ward off evil spirits and fight diseases. It is also a symbol of longevity and high wisdom. Currently, we plan to operate various irregular exhibitions, including print exhibitions and contemporary artist exhibitions, and also provide artist-in-residence creation. It is not usually open to the public. The exhibition can only be visited inside. (Original) 古色古香的房子。是奈良縣唯一保存完善的祭司住宅。前院有顆百年老樹。樹下供奉稲荷神的化身神像（狐狸）：傳說可以驅邪跟對抗疾病。更有長壽跟高智慧的像徵。 目前規劃經營各種不定期展覽有版畫展跟當代藝術家的畫展，也提供藝術家駐村創作等。平時不對外開放。展覽是才可以入內參觀。

(Translated by Google) I think it's a good atmosphere (Original) いい雰囲気だと思います

No admission charge, though parking a bit expensive. Lovely grounds.

A nice place to visit if you like culture and history. Long paths to walk under the trees, a large building for the sacred being. There is also a gift shop that sells some talismans. The entrance fee was free when I made a visit there.

Beautiful and peaceful. Just visiting on my way to Nara (exhange train in this station) and was surprised bow peaceful and solemn this shrine is. Get my first goshuin here! When I came here it they also have ShichiGoSan so there’s tiny ladies wearing beautiful kimono all around. Sooo adorable!

Lovely and peaceful shrine. It was raining, but still worth the visit.

This is a representative shrine in Nara. It is close to Kashihara Jingu Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line and within walking distance. Surrounded by a park, it is rich in nature and ideal for strolling and jogging. Temples and shrines in Kyoto are nice, but shrines in Nara are also very good for sightseeing.

Absolutely beautiful. So peaceful today as well. No tourist buses when we went. Everything is so tranquil here. Worth the drive out. Of course you could get a bus as well. Don't miss this one if you are near.

The two grand torii in front of Kashiharajan Shrine are grand, and the wood is preserved in its primary color, which is more interesting than if it were painted with vermilion! Founded in the year of Meiji 23 (1890), Kashiharajan Shrine has been enlarged several times and currently covers an area of 500,000 square meters. Located east of Mount Kashiharaju city, Nara Kashiharaju City, this site is believed to be the location of Mashiki Kashiharu Palace, the palace of Japan's first Emperor Hirohito (on throne: 660-585 BC). After walking through the way, I saw the bride and bridegroom who came to the shrine to do the wedding ceremony. Japanese dress, really have a different flavor. One of the main temples of Kashiharaju Kashiharaju, is a shift from The Suhasu (Suharu Uchiji) in Kyoto. Both sides of the long column corridor and row of lanterns had a very serious imposing manner. The cutting hand of Japan's 2,600th anniversary stamps is the inaki Kaharu Shrine Kashiharajan Shrine is a wide area, with a wide forest beyond the back door. In the outer court, the remains of pillars of yayoi period have been excavated, and the measurement results of C-14 have an error of 2600 years plus or minus 200 years, which is exactly consistent with the era of Emperor Jimwu.
